Summary:

The Perry Local school district in Ohio consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 197 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their strong academic performance. Edison Middle School ranks in the top 11% of middle schools in Ohio, with high proficiency rates in 8th grade science, math, and Algebra I. Whipple Heights Elementary is also a top performer, ranking in the top 8.5% of elementary schools in the state with strong results in math and English language arts. At the high school level, Perry High School boasts a 95.6% four-year graduation rate and high proficiency rates in several subject areas.

While the district overall demonstrates strong academic performance, there is some variation in results among the elementary schools. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 31.86% at Lohr Elementary to 70.61% at Genoa Elementary, which also has lower test scores. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is an area of concern that the Perry Local district may want to address.
